Now some Birds

A few asian 'vagrants' from a recent fall trip.  YES, there are all the spring goodies such as the
Puffins, Kittiwakes, Auklets, Cormorants, etc. but the possibilities for great Asian strays
is also quite high as shown in the below species images of Asian birds in fall
Eurasian Bullfinch -fall male- (St. Paul Island, Alaska) Hawfinch -fall male- (St. Paul Island, Alaska)
Siberian Accentor -fall- (St. Paul Island, Alaska) Eyebrowed Thrush -fall- (St. Paul Island, Alaska)
